Chapter 837: Yonghui Supermarket

the next day.

The details of Li Dong's participation in Hu Xiaorui's birthday party were revealed.

As expected, there was another piece of gossip in the circle.

Li Dong originally thought that Shen Qian would question him, and even give him a few dragon claw hands, but it didn't.

When she saw Shen Qian, she didn't seem to know about it at all.

Li Dong sneaked a few glances at her, feeling a little guilty.

Shen Qian noticed that she was distracted, and she couldn't help laughing when she saw this, "It's like a thief, why are you always looking at me?"

"No, nothing."

"Okay, isn't it the matter of that girl Hu Xiaorui? I know about it." Shen Qian shook her head and said, "It's useless for me to keep talking about this matter. If you don't bother me, I will be bothered."

"How to deal with Hu Xiaorui, you can decide for yourself."

"I can control your people, but can I control your heart? If you have that kind of thought, it's useless for me to say more."

Li Dong said embarrassingly: "I don't have that thought, I've already said it..."

"Yes, he is a child, so don't repeat it to me."

Shen Qian said angrily, then hesitated after a while and said: "Last night I..."

"What happened last night?"

"fine."

Shen Qian originally wanted to talk about the blind date last night, but after thinking about it, she decided not to.

It's just annoyance, and if you don't agree, it's almost time to end this matter.

Shi Guanglin is not the kind of stalker who made it to this point, not to mention that the two parties are not familiar with each other, so who knows if he is self-indulgent.

There are so many good women, and it's not that Shi Guanglin can't find them, so it's possible that he would seek death for her, Shen Qian.

That being the case, let's not talk about it.

Otherwise, Li Dong must have a worse impression of his mother, after all, it is his mother, and the relationship between Li Dong and Shen Xuehua is too stiff, which is not what Shen Qian wants.

Putting this matter aside, Shen Qian said again: "Didn't you say to find a language recovery expert for Xiaoshitou last time? I found him. When do you think he will come over?"

When Li Dong heard it, he said in a happy mood: "So fast, how are you?"

"I don't know the specifics. A friend introduced it. But the other party is from the Provincial Speech Rehabilitation Center, and I heard that the level is good."

"Then you give him a call. If you're not busy now, you can come over. I just rest these few days. If I need anything, I'm just ready."

Shen Qian nodded and said, "Then I'll let her come here now."

...

Half an hour later, Li Dong ushered in the "expert".

But Li Dong frowned at the first glance of Comrade Expert.

too young!

And it's a woman!

In his imagination, this kind of expert who has something to do with medical treatment should be the kind of old man with a white beard.

Although Li Dong doesn't like to judge people by their appearance, can a little girl who looks like she just graduated can heal Xiao Shitou?

As if seeing Li Dong's suspicion, Zhou Yawen said a little nervously: "Mr. Li, I have seen Li Yu's case, and she didn't lose her voice due to damage to her vocal cords or other physiological reasons.

Moreover, Miss Shen also said before that Li Yu can utter some vague words now.

This situation is not too complicated. I have had such a patient before, and under normal circumstances, it can enter the recovery period in three to five months.

Within a year, Li Yu can be like a normal kid..."

Li Dong waited for her to finish speaking before smiling lightly and said: "That's the best, how to treat and recover, I don't understand these things, and I won't meddle indiscriminately.

But you can tell me what you need, or what equipment you need, and I will solve it.

Now I will take you to meet Xiao Shitou, oh, Xiaoshitou is Li Yu's nickname.

In the next period of time, I'm afraid I will have to trouble Ms. Zhou to make a few more trips. The child is too young, and I don't want to send it to the rehabilitation center. The usual rehabilitation training is here. Do you think it is suitable? "

"Yes, yes."

Zhou Yawen nodded hastily, she knew who the employer was before she came.

A well-known rich man in China, the richest man in Jiangbei, came to this kind of family to help his children with rehabilitation.

A lot of pressure.

She thought about refusing, but on the one hand, she was reluctant to part with the generous reward, and on the other hand, she also wanted to get in touch with the legendary figures in Jiangbei.

When Li Dong frowned just now, her heart was in her throat.

Fortunately, Li Dong is not as domineering as he imagined, and although his attitude is not as polite as the parents of ordinary children, it is still acceptable.

Knowing that the experts were coming, Li Dong specially asked the nanny to pick up Xiao Shitou from the kindergarten.

At this time, Xiao Shitou was watching cartoons, and seeing Li Dong bring a strange big sister back, the little girl blinked her eyes and was a little confused.

Li Dong hugged the fat girl with a smile, and introduced to Zhou Yawen: "This is Little Shitou, Little Shitou, this auntie will come to play with you in the future, do you like it?"

Xiao Shitou scratched his head, apparently not quite understanding what Li Dong meant.

But it doesn't matter if you don't understand, she still knows the word "play", and when she heard this, she smiled and nodded vigorously.

Seeing this, Zhou Yawen breathed a sigh of relief again, she knew Li Dong's purpose just now.

If the little girl in front of me said she didn't like it, I'm afraid my job would be over.

Now it seems that it is somewhat useful to smile so kindly.

Touching the little girl's face, Zhou Yawen smiled and said, "Little Shitou, can you call me sister?"

The corner of Li Dong's mouth twitched, is this woman expressing dissatisfaction?

elder sister?

I have already introduced you as auntie, you say sister, really...

Forget it, women are afraid of being said to be older, so sisters should be older sisters.

Li Dong didn't say a word, Xiao Shitou was much more cheerful than before, and he didn't take too seriously, he yelled loudly, with a sweet smile on his fat face.

Seeing that the little stone didn't reject the other party, Li Dong put the little girl down and said to Zhou Yawen, "Then you guys talk to each other, I should be at home these few days, just call me if you need anything."

Zhou Yawen hurriedly said: "Mr. Li, go get busy, I will talk to you if necessary."

"Okay, little stone, play with sister for a while, uncle is going out first."

After leaving these words, Li Dong went straight out of the room.

After he left, Zhou Yawen felt something was wrong, sister? uncle?

I should be older than Li Dong, so I'm a generation shorter?

...

Li Dong didn't bother to think about what Zhou Yawen thought.

It's just a passer-by. When Xiao Shishi is healed, there should be no intersection between the two parties.

After dealing with this matter, Li Dong made a few more phone calls.

He didn't come to the company these days, but he didn't let go completely.

Qi Yunna from the capital, Wang Yue from the mountain city, and Chen Lang from Shanghai, these people will report to Li Dong first if they have something to do.

Among the three places, the mountain city is the best developed.

With the help of Wu Yajun in the mountain city, Wang Yue quickly gained a firm foothold. It shouldn't be long before there will be a supermarket in the distance in the mountain city.

On the Beijing-Tianjin side, Wumart hasn't made any big moves yet, Qi Yunna cautiously maintained restraint, and didn't dare to take the initiative to provoke.

If the foothold is not stable, if you take the initiative to provoke, it will be self-defeating.

As for Shanghai, he was just inspecting the market, and Chen Lang hadn't started making any moves yet, so it wasn't a big deal.

When Li Dong and Wang Yue were talking on the phone, they were suddenly attracted by a name.

"Yonghui!"

Hearing Wang Yue say that Yonghui Supermarket is also expanding in the mountain city, Li Dong couldn't help raising his eyebrows.

Yonghui Supermarket is actually still a small supermarket, and even just came out of Fujian Province not long ago, so it doesn't attract much attention.

The only thing worth noting is the business model of Yonghui Supermarket. The other party is not the main life supermarket, but the fresh food supermarket.

At this time, there are not many domestic retail companies that focus on fresh food supermarkets, or very few, and everyone is doing some fresh food business incidentally, rather than the main business.

Yonghui is not well-known now, but Li Dong knows that Yonghui has surpassed many large retail groups later.

When traditional retail was hit hard, Yonghui seized the opportunity to focus on fresh food, developed in adversity, and successfully listed.

Before Li Dong was born again, Yonghui's market value was not low, exceeding 50 billion.

It has achieved this step as a rising star, and the scale is still increasing. I have to say that Yonghui is doing very well.

Even at that time, the other party was preparing to intervene in the financial field and opened its own bank.

When Li Dong was distracted, Wang Yue was still narrating on the phone, "Yonghui focuses on fresh food, and it doesn't compete too much with us. But Mr. Li, I am quite optimistic about this area. I didn't pay much attention to it before.

Now it happens to be in the mountain city, and the opponent is also starting.

I found that the other party entered the local market in the name of focusing on fresh food, and was much less excluded and suppressed.

Many local retail companies felt that Yonghui was not their competition, and quietly allowed Yonghui to infiltrate the local market.

Unlike us, everyone is more wary and hostile.

You see, should we learn from each other's business model? "

Li Dong replied: "It's not the same. Since we defeated Suguo, we are destined to be noticed and hated by others. But you said that Yonghui's model is indeed worth learning.

In the future, Yuanfang can also develop more stores that focus on fresh food. Of course, according to my thinking, it is best to acquire Yonghui.

The other party's market in southern Fujian is not small. Next year, our target is southern Fujian and Guangdong province. The acquisition of a local company will be of great help to us. "

"Mr. Li, I'm afraid this is a bit difficult."

"How to say?"

"Do you know who is behind the development of Yonghui? Yonghui's second largest shareholder is Minsheng Supermarket, and Minsheng Supermarket is actually the spokesperson of HSBC.

HSBC is more optimistic about Yonghui and has been providing financial support.

Therefore, Yonghui is not short of money for the time being, because the competitiveness is small, the development is good, and it has not reached the bottleneck period..."

Wang Yue briefly introduced the situation. There is no shortage of money for the time being and the market pressure is not great. Under such circumstances, it is not easy to acquire Yonghui.

Of course, at the end Wang Yue said: "However, it's not hopeless. Recently, I heard that HSBC is planning to increase its shareholding for the second time, and the Zhang brothers may not be willing to let HSBC continue to grow.

Once HSBC continues to increase its holdings, Yonghui is likely to change owners in the end.

The Zhang brothers are also contacting some other capital institutions recently, hoping to introduce other institutions to resist HSBC.

But other organizations can enter, so I'm afraid it will be quite difficult for us. "

The Zhang brothers are willing to let capital institutions enter, but they may not be willing to let Yuanfang enter.

If it were Bailian or several other large supermarkets, they might agree.

The alliance with peers is of great help to them. They can help with various channel resources and market planning.

The only two that can't do it are China Resources and Yuanfang. What these two companies have always liked to do most is to eat and wipe clean.

Entering the market, their purpose is to hold shares, or even wholly acquire them.

In this case, it is more dangerous than HSBC to lead into a distant place.

The purpose of HSBC is only to make money, but the purpose of Yuanfang is to annex.

When Wang Yue said this, Li Dong thought for a moment and said, "Try it, who will know if you don't try it."

"Alright then, I'll contact the other party later."

Neither of them said anything about re-registering a company to enter the market, because Yuanfang's purpose is not for this, but to expand Yuanfang's influence and market.

If you change a company, as long as you fail to hold a controlling stake, it will not help Yuanfang.

That being the case, it would be better to talk about it openly, and it may not be impossible to talk about it.

As long as Yuanfang does not require a controlling stake or cooperation, Yonghui may not agree.

At this time, Yonghui was small in scale and not well-known. Compared with Yuanfang, the gap between them was too large, and Yuanfang's channels and resources would be helpful to them.

After talking about Yonghui, Li Dong hung up the phone.

But at this time, Li Dong was still thinking about some things, and the supermarket was developing in a diversified way.

The era of e-commerce is coming, and the traditional retail in the future is undergoing transformation and upgrading.

In this regard, Yonghui's fresh food supermarket is a way, and the high-end boutique supermarket mentioned by Chen Lang is also a way.

In addition, Yuanfang Mall provides online and offline assistance to complete the O2O construction.

In this way, the impact of e-commerce on Yuanfang supermarkets will not be too great.

It is also one of Yuanfang's advantages to be one step ahead of others to carry out transformation and upgrading.

As for Yonghui, the impact of whether the merger can be achieved is not too great.

Yonghui can succeed because there is no competition, and no one is mainly engaged in this business.

Otherwise, if the current major supermarket chains invest more in this, there will be no room for Yonghui to survive.

It’s nothing more than a small supermarket with annual sales of billions of dollars, and it can’t even compare to the previous era. Now that Li Dong remembered this, it would be best to merge and acquire, saving him from reinvesting.

Mergers and acquisitions are not possible, so the focus of Yuanfang is slightly tilted, and Yonghui is definitely not Yuanfang's opponent.
